Call for Papers

The management of large-scale complex industrial systems has a considerable strategic importance for an important number of enterprises. This spawned the relatively new academic field of "system architecture & engineering", producing a body of research that allows engineers to manage the increasing complexity of the technical systems they design. By its very nature, this field is at the interface between industry and academia, and requires its practitioners to be well versed in industrial application-related, as well as, theoretical knowledge. The ambition of the CSD&M Asia conference is to be the meeting point of reference for the industrial, academic and governmental environments working in the design and management of complex industrial systems.

Our wish is to give to all academics, industrials and government agents interested in complex systems the opportunity to present their work, studies or experiences. Selected papers will be accepted for a 30-minute contributed talk or a poster workshop. One full day of the conference CSD&M Asia 2016 will be dedicated to this occasion.

Important dates

• Optional abstract pre-submission: May 31, 2015
• Submission deadline of full paper for selection: July 31,2015 August 31, 2015
• Results announcement: October 14, 2015
• Final version submission deadline for publications: November 14, 2015
• Conference: February 24 - 26, 2016

Submission procedure

As the CSD&M Asia conference is institutional, industrial and academic. There are two different submission procedures according to the type of your contribution.

• Industrial & governmental submissions aim to present good practices, shared experiences and case studies in industry, in government agencies or both: either a 12-page PDF-formatted paper or a 15-slides PowerPoint presentation is acceptable for selection purposes. Contributions can be accepted either for a 30-minute talk or for a poster workshop. And the paper has to be transformed into Word or LaTex format for publications if selected.
  

• Scientific submissions aim to present innovative methodological, technical or scientific results: a 12-page Word or Latex formatted into PDF is necessary for selection purposes. Contributions can be accepted either for a 30-minute contributed talk or for a poster workshop. Subject to contribution acceptance, inclusion on the Springer proceedings book requires a 12-page Word or Latex close to specific Springer style files.

The management of large-scale complex industrial systems has a considerable strategic importance for an important number of enterprises (most notably in Singapore, Australia and other Asia-Oceania countries). This spawned the relatively new academic field of "system architecture & engineering", producing a body of research that allows engineers to manage the increasing complexity of the technical systems they design. By its very nature, this field is at the interface between industry and academia, and requires its practitioners to be well versed in industrial application-related as well as theoretical knowledge. The ambition of the CSD&M Asia conference is to be the meeting point of reference for the industrial, academic governmental environments working in the design and management of complex industrial systems.
